DDG is the winner of Guido Nardi 08, "Innovative technologies and complex shapes" prize and finalist by the International Archiprix CNAPPC under the XXIII UIA World Congress held in Turin with his thesis TMD_tsunami memorial design competition, network as design tools.

He was an assistant tutor at the International Summer School "Prototyping the City", in the Turin World Design Capital event with Architectural Association ( Ecologic Studio) and Columbia GSAPP (Avery Digital Fabrication Laboratory) tutors .

MadeInCalifornia///CO.DE.

MadeInCalifornia is a [CO]mputational [DE]sign blog online since Sept 2005 (definition by Generator.x).

The intent of this blog is to archive and spread experiments in computational design and parametric systems.

CO.DE. is a personal design research where the author shares his solutions and research projects, realized by advanced computational tools like scripting and parametrics models.

These projects are different to conventional approach of design where is a singular design solution, these projects are designed by parametric systems that produce a reactive intelligence and multiple iterative results responding to the domain of input parameters. These systems are been used by a bottom-up approach to respond qualities of emergence and continuous differentation with adaptive variations to urban and architectural environments.
